• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I disagree. I dont see catholicism as error free
And therein lies your problem: No denomination is totally error free, but by associating with other Christians we can see firstly the problems with other denominations and then those with our own. The latter is much harder and without others around you, you are more prone to fall into error because there is no-one around to point out to you that you are heading off in the wrong direction.

Indeed I'd have to say that from your postings so far, I suspect that you have already formed your own theology and it is perfect and Holy Spirit guided... and prone to error.

No problem here. Only in your mind is there a problem.

Catholicism is just one example i use. If i dont recognize catholicism what bishop would you have me hear? You're catholic so surely you are promoting catholic bishops.
OK. Let's say an Anglican bishop, an Eastern Orthodox bishop, the bishop T.D. Jakes, the bishop Don Magic Juan, or any other bishop of your choosing.

Are you going to answer the question? Are bishops and deacons valid offices? Are there valid bishops and deacons (of any denomination) that exist today?

I dont agree with their theology, so how could i consider them at all?

That's the problem. It's all about the "I", the Church has been always about having an orthodox belief and because of individualistic philosophies we are destroying the Church.

So because i dont agree with those denominations that means its all about me? No sir, that is a fantasy you created.These denominations dont agree with each other, so what makes you think i will?

They don't agree because of the same reason.
